Center
On Thursday, federal appeals court ruled that President Trump’s 10 percent global tariff is likely legal, deciding it can remain in place until the court delivers its final word. Trump imposed the new levy after the Supreme Court invalidated his previous emergency tariffs as exceeding his authority. Last month, a federal trade court found the new tariff unlawful and blocked officials from forcing a group…

'Buyer's remorse era': Jen Psaki tracks the real-time collapse of Trump's coalition
President Donald Trump's coalition is falling apart in earnest as more and more of his voters start to break away, MS NOW's Jen Psaki said on Thursday evening."You know that feeling ... when you buy a cute pair of shoes or something like that you saw on Instagram, and then they show up and you wear them for a day or two, and they're just not what you hoped they'd be?" Psaki said. "Or when you buy a movie ticket and halfway through the show, you think to yourself, 'Oh, I should have stayed home or maybe gone to see a different movie?'"This is exactly the sort of thing many Trump supporters are feeling, Psaki said, as they are "entering their very own buyer's remorse era."The polls tell a clear story, said Psaki. In 2024, "Trump won the support of 81 percent of voters who ranked the economy as their number one issue ... that was their big issue." Now, however, "a new poll out just this week found that a record 63 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy ... it's basically plummeting off of a cliff."The economy isn't the only issue, though, Psaki said. The war in Iran is also part of the problem."Clearly now, tonight, he's claiming that Iran is ready to sign a deal ... while Iranian officials are publicly denying any such thing," said Psaki. "The man is basically stuck and in way over his head. That is very clear, more than 100 days into this war." And the new poll she mentioned earlier also indicates that "a full 92 percent of voters say they think the war will last another month or longer ... and two-thirds of Americans, 67 percent, think Trump has been ineffective in negotiating with Iran."The buyer's remorse extends right down to the public spectacles Trump has arranged to celebrate himself.For instance, she said, "the big UFC fight he's planning to host on the South Lawn of the White House for his 80th birthday on Sunday, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found that only 16% percent of Americans think it's appropriate for Trump to hold that event, which means that most of the people who voted for him are not on board with his big birthday party." - YouTube youtu.be

DOJ agency claims it has no records of Trump's shady IRS settlement
A Department of Justice division claimed it had no records related to President Donald Trump's IRS settlement, a watchdog reported.According to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the DOJ's Civil Division came up empty-handed when responding to a request for records related to the settlement that led to Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund. The $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund came out of a settlement in the case Trump v. IRS, a $10 billion lawsuit over the leaking of the Trump family and organization's tax returns. CREW filed the request to see DOJ documents related to the settlement that created the fund, but "DOJ's Civil Division claims to have no record of so much as being notified about Trump's case," the watchdog reported.CREW was expecting some paper trail, given the amount of money involved and the fact that it was the first time a sitting president had sued and settled a case with their own administration."Given the extraordinary way this case unfolded, a settlement of this magnitude leaving no trace in the files of the divisions typically responsible for it is yet another striking confirmation of the irregular, collusive process that produced an enormously corrupt result," CREW wrote.CREW is challenging the lawsuit in court, it noted.
